I'm cursed with empathy. I'm also by nature way too opinionated.

Labels only confuse people. The smarter people recognize artists who transcend categories. But I always try to entertain. It's in my nature; writers are born to entertain. If that means working ostensibly within a genre, fine.

I'm incapable of writing without social commentary. I like to think that it's integrated and not really heavy handedly didactic.

Innocence could be considered a discrete state of mind.

People in extreme conditions are suddenly naked, realer than normal, perhaps even more alive.
